Sugiyama教授被公认为生理药代动力学（PBPK）和膜转运蛋白领域的世界领导者。他在PBPK方面的工作对于体外 - 体内定量外推至关重要，特别是用于预测药物清除率和人类药物相互作用程度的模型开发。此外，他对膜转运蛋白的研究，包括功能和动力学表征，以及遗传变异的影响，对于我们理解转运蛋白在药物处置中的作用至关重要。Sugiyama教授对膜转运蛋白的研究使人们对转运机制的基本方面有了更好的理解。他发现了几个转运蛋白在药物分布中发挥重要作用的例子。此外，他的工作强调了在药物开发中考虑药代动力学特性的重要性，使用高通量筛选方法来测试组合化学合成的大量候选药物。转运蛋白的详细体外研究首次似乎可以预测转运蛋白介导的体内药物-药物相互作用。最后，在他的实验室中发现了转运蛋白基因的遗传变异，这可以解释药物分布和药物作用的个体差异。Sugiyama教授大量非凡的科学工作，对我们如何理解和使用药物产生了深远的影响。

总之，他的成就为新药发现和开发以及政府的监管带来了深刻的变化。他正对药物发现和开发的早期阶段预测药代动力学和药效学，进行更深入的研究。这些研究工作将有助于药物开发的成功，并为患者提供治疗药物。
